I agree with the first paragraph’s notes on Russian incompetence and Ukrainian capability. I said as much.

APS is a must but it’s not a panacea. You need to emit, detect and survive a second or third shot. I expect loitering munitions are probably outside of most APS system’s velocity gates+engagement envelopes. I also wonder how survivable and jam resistant APS sensors are.

Finally the way this guy is talking about it…it sounds a little too good to be true.

Again, not discounting APS, the Israelis do this for real - APS makes the problem harder but not unsolvable.
